For the past few years, I have been thinking that I would like to lose 10 pounds. Recently I learned about Human Chorionic Gonadotrophin (HCG). Dr. A.T.W. Simeons wrote a manuscript entitled, “Pounds and Inches” where he discussed how combining HCG with a 500-calorie diet helped a person to access the fat stores in their body and to utilize those fat stores in order to lose weight. He studied this extensively in Italy in the 1940’s and 1950’s, where he was able to help thousands of patients to lose weight with HCG injections in his clinic. What was impressive about his work was that people were able to lose weight in all the right places, while not feeling extreme hunger. Although a 500-calorie diet without HCG would require an enormous amount of will power to achieve and would not be a healthy way to lose weight, he found that adding HCG changed all this.

Fortunately, I learned that HCG is now available in homeopathic form, making it very inexpensive and allowing people to easily administer themselves. Having been a firm believer in homeopathy for many years, I was curious to see how this worked. I have to admit, however, that the 500 calories/day made me hesitant to begin this plan. My husband Tony, however, did not have these reservations and he decided to give it a try. He found that the HCG drops took away most of his hunger and that 500 calories left him feeling satisfied. He has now completed 3 rounds of the diet and has lost over 35 pounds. Finally, on his last round, he convinced me to give it a try. It was not as difficult as it sounded. I especially enjoyed the first two “loading” days, where you are told to eat lots of fatty and sugary foods in order to expand your fat cells and make it easier for your body to access them. I kept reminding myself that I can do anything for a few weeks. After 26 days, I had happily lost over 11 pounds.

I marvelled at how many of us go through years of wanting to lose weight, but not taking the positive steps necessary to achieve our goal. Weighing what I weighed in my early twenties has been a wonderful accomplishment for me and it all occurred very quickly.

I hope those of you wanting to lose weight will not wait another day to look and feel the way you would like. It is definitely worth it.
